Ethical & Sustainability Code of Conduct
At The Fairytale Wardrobe we believe childhood should be full of imagination, magic, and adventure but never at the cost of people or the planet. This Code of Conduct reflects our deep commitment to ethical business practices and environmental sustainability in every step of our journey.
1. Child Safety Comes First
Children are at the heart of what we do. That’s why every costume we design is:
- Made with non-toxic, and child-safe materials
- Free from small parts that pose choking hazards
- Designed and tested to meet or exceed international child safety standards
We never cut corners when it comes to the wellbeing of your child, with every garment subjected to rigorous safety testing.
2. Respect for People
We partner only with manufacturers and suppliers who uphold high standards of ethical labor. This means:
- No child labor or forced labor
- Fair wages and reasonable working hours
- Safe, clean, and respectful working conditions
- Compliance with local and international labor laws
We require transparency in our supply chain and audit partners regularly to ensure these values are upheld.
3. Commitment to Inclusivity
We celebrate the richness of every culture and community. Our costumes are:
- Inspired by creativity, not stereotypes
- Respectful of cultural traditions and identities
- Designed to reflect a world where all children feel seen and empowered
We take time and care designing every piece we create, ensuring fun never compromises respect.
4. Environmental Responsibility
Costumes can be magical and sustainable. We work hard to reduce our environmental impact by:
- Responsibly sourced fabrics
- Designing durable costumes made to be worn, loved, and passed down
- Limiting plastic in packaging and opting for recyclable or compostable alternatives
- Operating with minimal waste across our production and shipping processes
We are constantly exploring ways to improve our sustainability footprint and welcome innovation and feedback.
5. Ethical Marketing & Customer Trust
Our business is built on trust. That means:
- Honest product descriptions and sizing
- Clear communication with no misleading claims
- Respect for your data and privacy
- Responsive and compassionate customer service
We aim to treat every parent and child the way we ourselves would want to be treated. We are not just building a brand but a community as well.
Next Steps
The Fairytale Wardrobe recognises the need to revisit the steps identified in this statement. It will review and amend these actions where necessary as it continues its program of work to ensure that its supply chain operates ethically and with a continuous improvement plan to ensure all areas of the business work cohesively to uphold the above.
